about

Day In Day Out gives you an inside glimpse of what happens when you don't follow military protocol and undermine the sacred codes of the army and commit treason of the country. It tells Alex’s story in captivity by his own country, of being broken down into small pieces while kept isolated and frequently tortured and drugged for 6 months.
The main character could barely speak and his only companion was his inner voice.
He used to divide the people that came in and out as “demons and saints”, because every time after being beaten up, the “angels” would come and clean him up and keep him alive. It felt like eternity inside but he accepted the punishment and did not resist as he knew that he had deserved it.

The introduction for the song starts off with a soft and uncomfortable melody as it portrays an animal being captivated. Then the instrumental intro shifts into a raging explosion of aggression with a rhythmic riff that appears in the track repeatedly. Day in day out has other noticeable musical motives resembling its rhythmic and melodic elements. There are 3 unique moments in the song. One is the second verse, which is reflected musically with a dark and cold reggae- like feel with atmospheric guitars. The second one is the pre-chorus that has a mystic and slightly spiritual energy, and the third is the coda part that is based on an afrobeat drum and bass groove accompanied by the lead guitar melodies and vocal that are played in unison and are based on the Ethiopian musical scale minor Bati. The song doesn't quite end and the coda is drifting into an acapella part crafted by Ben Reiss representing the faze of madness the main character had reached.

lyrics

Day in day out

been folded so small,
kept silent for so long,
My core began to crack,
slowly kneeling to the ground.
now the cracks have widened,
they run much deeper,
faced the endless dark,
hoping I was meant to live
a better life.
day in, day out,
day’s born day dies
now the demons go marching in
smashing to the ground
what's left of my confidence.
oh when the demons go marching in
tearing through my parts
Still I can’t feel a thing.
dreams of falling trying.
A victim of consistent mind trickeries
Will be soon omitted from his own reality.
now the skies turn dark,
and my eyes are sinking deeper.
Day in, Day out
Day born, Day dies
Day in, Day out, Day in, Day out,
Day born, Day dies, Day in, Day out, Day born.
roaming with the clouds,
soaring past the fact into the fiction.
Day in, Day out, Day born, Day dies.
now the saints go marching in,
There's a chance for me to run and save myself,
oh when the saints go marching in,
wiping clean the cuts that’ll quickly drip again .
dreams of falling trying.
separate the leaders from the choir,
deal with fire.
twist and break the opportunities,
deal with fire.
sweep the shatters under a fur carpet,
deal with fire.
scrape the evidence of the devil's work,
deal with fire.
ignore unwanted soul’s suffering,
deal with fire.
suck all the air dry,
deal with fire.
trim the wings of those born free,
deal with fire.
shut the doors to the mind.
